As I went online today, I found a very interesting fact. The bankers on wall street have given themselves a 20 billion dollar bonus. Now I don't know about you, but I'm looking for my receit, because I'm a taxpayer, and I need a refund!! Now in these so-called turbulent times, if we acted and went to the polls for Obama, then let us not stop!! I'm posting a video about what Obama said, and I'm also giving numbers and links for Nebraska congress-people. I will also post the letter I sent to them. I urge you so-called conscious people to do the same. Here's the letter:

Dear Senator/Congressman

I am a taxpayer, who has three jobs. I am a paraprofessional at a alternative high school, a tutor, as well as a part time cashier. I find it disgusting that the Senate and House both voted to give the banking industry the asinine amount of money for a bailout, and then turn around and give themselves a 20 billion dollar bonus. I think that both houses should demand, not request, that the money be paid back in full. This would alleviate the burden on our current shaky economy as well as provide some money to the national debt. I am a taxpayer, a voter, and a poet of conscious, so please heed my word.

Clarence "Nabraska" Barbee
